DISCOVERING THE LOCAL ARTS SCENE THROUGH MAC’S FIRST FRIDAYS
As a writer, I've always gravitated toward words rather than paint. Canvases - whether sketched, splashed, or poured - were never really my thing. That changed when I discovered my son, JP (who has autism), had a natural gift for abstract painting. JP approaches art the same way he approaches the world: creatively and unconventionally.

During WWI, the hamburger was … [Read more...] about GRILLED IN THE UPSTATE: A HAMBURGER QUEST SERIES
